He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

9. CHARACTERISTICS OF CASTE SYSTEM
- he society is divided
into various castes, the membership of which is
determined by the consideration of birth. The status
of a person does not depend on his wealth but on the
traditional importance of the caste in which he is
born.
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
10. - The whole society is divided into distinct
classes with a concept of high and low. Thus Brahmans
in India stand at the apex of the social ladder while the
Sudras occupied the lowest rank.
• : specific occupations are
assigned to each of the four castes. Members of any
caste are not allowed to take to any occupation which
are degrading or impure
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
11. – Brahmans are not allowed to
eat non-veg, consume liquor.
Members of a caste must marry only persons
belonging to their caste .
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
12. Merits
Unity in diversity: It has achieved a graded racial and cultural harmony in
India.
Co-operation: It has fostered the spirit of co-operation and fellow-feeling
among members of the same caste.
Economic security: By guaranteeing different types and fixed types of
occupations for every man and social group, the caste system has given
economic security .
Cultural diffusion : The caste customs, beliefs, skill, behaviour, the trade
secrets are passed on from generation to generation. Culture is thus carried
from one age to another.
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
13. • Preserves culture -Caste system is specially fit for such a
task of handing over cultural patterns from one preceding
generation to the other succeeding generation with little
change, because craft secrets and caste customs are zealously
safeguarded and perpetuated by the occupational castes.
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
14. Demerits
• Wrong occupation: An individual may not be skilled or interested
in his caste trade but may be talented and capable of some other
pursuit which by caste conventions may be prohibited.
• Undemocratic: The caste system denies equal rights to all
• irrespective of their caste, creed or colour.
• Untouchability : It leads to untouchability. According to Mahatma
Gandhi it is “the hate-fullest expression of caste.” Large section of
people is reduced to the state of virtual slavery
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
15. • Promotes casteism: The members belonging to a
caste carry caste feelings and manifest blind and
over-riding loyalty to their caste
Priyachaturvedi53@gmail.com
16. Abolition of caste system ( reformers)
• Kabir – famous hindu poet was against caste system. He
awakened people through his poetry. He taught people
how to treat others.

17. • जाती न पूछो साधू की, पूछ लीजजये ज्ञान ।
• मोल करो तलवार का, पडा रहने दो म्यान
• साधु ऐसा चाहहए जैसा सूप सुभाय।
• सार-सार को गहह रहै थोथा देई उडाय।
